e-Procurement & Catalogs
SIMPLIFY YOUR PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT

Improve control and management of spend by using validation workflows and budget monitoring

Realize the savings that were projected when signing with the supplier

The e-procurement suite is composed of five modules that allow the management of different stages of the procurement process: from importing supplier catalogs to invoice processing, including purchase requisitions management, purchase orders and deliveries.

The user has a single entry point to the application to issue a purchase request for listed or unlisted products, or for the procurement of services.

In addition to the efficiencies gained over the entire procurement chain, Ivalua’s e-procurement tools contribute to better control of spend by assigning purchase requests to the best existing contracts and by applying an appropriate validation workflow as well as budget monitoring. Purchase requistion grouping functions allow buyers to aggregate purchases created by disparate requests and to launch an appropriate e-sourcing event (RFx, auction, etc.) for suppliers to meet the needs of requisitioners while obtaining the best price for goods.

Deployment modes

Where do you want it?You pick where your Spend Management solution lives:

The "Cloud"

This Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment lets you focus on business while Ivalua manages the rest (hosting, uptime, support, and upgrades). Our Fortune 500 clients rest easy with our SLA guarantees and a secure data center with SAS 70 Type II certification. Avoid IT labor and capital expenses: this is your fastest and most affordable way to GoLive and get Business results.

HYBRID HOSTING

If your organization already has a strong data center and maintenance organization but would benefit from Ivalua managing the actual software, a “hybrid” hosting arrangement may be best. The data center hardware, network and operating systems are owned and operated by your IT but the Ivalua suite is installed and maintained by Ivalua operations. Most of the SaaS SLAs still apply, but it ultimately resides on your infrastructure.

ON PREMISE

If your IT is actively involved, perhaps a full install of the Ivalua Suite inside your firewall is the deployment model you need. This approach provides complete control over the full user experience by internal staff.
